You can tell the real BF community simply by introducing something new to the game lmao. I swear bf friends had it right with the old guy saying everything fuined their battlefield. Honestly I dont like br style games but I still wanna give this a shot because it may be fun at times. I just love knowing that the people that are complaining that they didnt want firestorm are the same people that want a tactical, team/squad oriented game. I am 40 years young and I can only picture someone trying to teach their grandparents how to use a computer whenever people complain about something new being added.
That’s a refreshing point of view around here, as so many posters will insist that (insert name of whatever it is they don’t like) is toxic and should be removed from the game because it’s not Real Battlefield–they do seem to think their likes and dislikes should be imposed on others. As I said, Conquest is my favorite form of BF, but TDM is a variation I enjoy at times in part because it is relatively mindless and clueless teammates have less opportunity to screw it up. It’s also a good way to work on things like recoil control, snap-shooting etc. without worrying about capping flags or choppers or tanks or whatever. I’d get bored playing nothing but TDM however, so for the most part I play Conquest or occasionally Domination or one of the other variants they come up with. To me Conquest with big maps and lots of vehicles is the heart of BF, but that doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be variations that are radically different from that, in my world one size does not fit all. Sadly we no longer have any choice in such matters thanks to no more rented servers, EA has decided we’ll all fit into the same size pants, like it or not.
We play battlefield games to take part in battles on huge battlefields with lots of soldiers on either side. Surely if we wanted BR we would have played battlegrounds / fortnite / apex ext. So much time and effort has been wasted on a mode that is not wanted. Even worse, the traditional BF experience has been warped by features influenced by BR (4 man squad, reviving ect).
They have been around for a very long time and woven into the fabric of Battlefield for ages now. They have not just been shoved in as a ‘here today gone tomorow’ bandwagon like BR.
You keep saying that but if you look at the response they’re getting on Twitter you will see that you’re wrong. There are the doubters like you but the majority is overwhelmingly positive. Seems to be the forums have the most negativity for the mode, but it’s only a tiny fraction of the overall community.
I was actually thinking this… do you think this is being handed over to a different company? And this is the sort of hand-off game mode to kick that off?
Where do I say “all is better now”? This was simply stating that the “no one wants this” generalization isn’t correct, there are plenty of people that want to play the mode. Sure the game has it’s flaws but right now BR is the hottest thing in gaming and people want to see what their favorite game/studios can do with the mode, and see if they can do something different with the mode.
It’s not for everybody but that doesn’t mean “no one” wants it.
Where did you get that 200k more dislikes number? Sounds made up or cherrypicked, which is in no way surprising. On the official trailer video on YouTube from the official Battlefield account the video currently has 31,000 LIKES and only 2,700 dislikes.
For sure, I’m already being lectured on the studios joint budget on another thread raising the same issue but battle royale was trending and it had to be done, the FOMO was strong in this one.
